WALKER – Jarrin Moore isn't seeking vengeance against Jack Jacqmain for the 53-year-old allegedly attacking her husband from behind with a knife and killing him last August outside a Walker hotel.

The Indianapolis woman, nearly one year later, simply wants to be able to tell the couple's 6-year-old daughter, Kiley, that her daddy didn't die in vain and that the justice system – the same one that mistakenly let a convicted felon being treated at a mental health center slip through the cracks to freedom - works.

“She misses him every day,” Jarrin Moore said Friday after a judge ruled that Jacqmain remains incompetent to stand trial due to lingering mental health problems. “There's not a day that goes by that she doesn't ask about him or want to wear his clothes.”

The girl sprays cologne on herself to recall the smell that Mark Moore would leave when giving her a hug, family members said.

Although police say it took only minutes for Moore, 31, to die from multiple stab wounds allegedly delivered by the 53-year-old Jacqmain, the open murder case continues to drag out and will now be delayed another 90 days.

Psychiatric exams have repeatedly shown that Jacqmain is not fit to assist in his defense or understand the proceedings against him, findings that Mark Moore's family doesn't comprehend.

“I believe Jack Jacqmain to be playing the system to benefit himself,” Stacia Barnes, Moore's sister, said after the brief hearing before Walker District Judge Peter Versluis.

Barnes noted Jacqmain boasted to witnesses of the Aug. 18 slaying before running from police, disposing of the murder weapon, shaving his beard and making his way to a St. Louis, Mo., suburb where he was eventually arrested.

Examinations at the state's Center for Forensic Psychiatry have shown that Jacqmain, who was not at the hearing, is making progress in his thought process, Versluis said in court. He suffers from bi-polar disorder, delusions and schizophrenia, court records show.

The most recent evaluation, performed in June, shows Jacqmain is not suffering from the episodes that have plagued him for years. He is still easily distracted and confused, the review showed.

“His thoughts appear more reality-based,” Versluis said.

Moore's relatives said they want to see Jacqmain in court and to know that the judicial system offers them closure instead of protecting the man they say killed a man who was in West Michigan working on cell phone towers.

Moore was staying at the hotel, near Three Mile Road and Alpine Avenue NW, and speaking with his wife when authorities say Jacqmain, unprovoked, attacked him.

Jacqmain was also living at the hotel for several days after walking away from a treatment center where he had been sent following his arrest for bringing a knife to a meeting with his parole officer.

Despite being an in-custody patient, Jacqmain, a convicted bank robber, left the center and was free for five days before prison officials realized it on Aug. 17.

Barnes bemoaned the fact that Jacqmain is again housed and fed at the expense of taxpayers while she says Jarrin Moore struggles to survive and is selling off personal items to pay the bills now that her husband is dead.
